Bachelor of Economics / Bachelor of Laws

The Combined Law program allows students to study the Bachelor of Laws in conjunction with another degree. Students enrol with their partner faculty for the first 3 years and then transfer to the Law School at the completion of their other degree to finish the last 2 years of their law studies. The Bachelor of Economics provides a solid grounding in quantitative techniques and econometrics and is a specialist program that allows the completion of a major in Economics or the more statistically based Econometrics major. The LLB is designed to provide a legal education that is not only challenging and rewarding but one that equips graduates for the demands of the 21st century. If students have completed at least one year of a recognised tertiary qualification, they will be considered on the better of their ATAR or tertiary qualification. Recent experience suggests that an ATAR of 99.50 or a tertiary grade point average in the distinction range is necessary to gain entry, although this will vary according to the strength of the field of applicants.

Year 12 or equivalent; selection via ATAR; high level of English proficiency expected. For Law: None. For other degree: Refer to relevant degree entries. From 2019, Law combined with Commerce, Economics, Engineering Honours and Science will require a course prerequisite of Mathematics (Band 4 or higher). The assumed knowledge will still apply.

Structure:

Combined Law is organised in such a manner to permit you to study your partner degree first. At the same time however, you can study the equivalent of your first year of law.

Candidates may apply to transfer after at least 1 year of tertiary study. A maximum of 48 credit points or one year of study is available for prior study as part of a recognised law degree at another university. If you already have an undergraduate degree you should apply to the Sydney Law School Juris Doctor.

Further information:

Practical experience: Clinical legal education options are available in the final year of law. These may be through partnership with legal centres, law firms and other organisations involved in public interest law and the provision of legal services to disadvantaged or vulnerable members of the community. Internship opportunities with domestic and international law firms may also be available. Career opportunities: Examples include legal practitioner in private and public practice, and in accounting, banking and finance organisations, government, international agencies, media, communications.
